I was stunned the other day - had a conversation with an agent who knew that SSAS and SAS were different things and not simply alternative spellings!

I got one from a Bob agent for New Bury, which if it's not meant to be Newbury, is an extremely rough part of Farnworth near Bolton, the local pub, The Flying Shuttle, aka The Lying Slut by fiddling about with the sign letters, being perhaps the roughest in the UK. I've actually been in, not knowing of it's poor reputation at the time, excellent chippy round the corner on the precinct BTW.....Originally posted by Mordac View PostTo be fair, to an Aussie 60 miles away is probably the next town. There is a Newbury Park in E London, could they have meant that?

Bob'll fix it?Originally posted by eek View PostJust got a permie job role through the first line is
UK (either London, Watford, Egham)
Now it may just be me but London, Egham and Watford are within a 25mile radius of each other. That isn't the UK as a whole (heck it isn't even a role you could take if you live east of London).
